I don't know about you guys, but this thing is possibly the nicest looking 29er I've seen. Very tidy and I'm a little bit in love with the purple.

I've never ridden a 29er, so have no reference point for the angles, but it seems pretty slack for a big wheeler. Maybe a bit too slack?

Will this be the Five of the wagon wheel tribe? I'd love a go!

So what you're saying is that you don't know what you're talking about but you're an orange fanboy that likes purple. 😉

I do like purple (oooh errr) but not a huge Orange fan, looks tidy mind.

I'm clearly late to this party.

I have no idea what I'm talking about, but since when did anyone on here buy a bike based on sensible, considered reasoning? It's all about looks and hearsay!

Indeed I do.
I also know who doesn't know it. 😉

Getting slightly back onto topic.

I don't understand all the arguments about "29ers are shit they're slow handling and hard to throw about"
Then the thrapping over a long chainstayed too slack filing cabinet. 😆

I've never liked 29ers or the look of Oranges.

But I strangely like this bike! I think it's because the slackness of it makes it look like a proper bike instead of a clown bike. Although I can't put my finger on it.
